Elizabeth's Krupp

ART AT AUCTION

The Year at Sotheby's and Parke-Barnett 1967-68: "A diamond ring by Harry Winston, New York $305,000. From the collection of the late Vera Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach. The highest price ever paid (at the time) at auction for a diamond ring."

Elizabeth Taylor bought this diamond for herself. What a woman, treating herself to something beautiful! It weighs 33.19 carats (the stone) and she's worn it in every film she's appeared in since. This includes an episode of The Simpsons, in which her eye is reflected in the image of the diamond whilst she's polishing her Academy Awards.

You see it, you love it and you can afford it, then you should buy it. You really are worth it!
